Online MSc Computer Science with Data Analytics at University of York

You need to chase your referee to respond back.

Have some of you guys started on the second module today or is there a break in between the first one and the next?

Like the previous poster, my referee hasn't gotten anything on their end.

I definitely want to specialise in Data Science / Analytics as I hold a degree in Finance and I need those skills to combine them with my degree.

Thanks for your answer!

The module started yesterday, so no break for us. We should get a two week break after this module.

I do not think that the topics and course content are badly organized. It is just that the teaching is not that good. They covered a lot of topics from CLRS. The topics selection was nice, but there was a lack of videos and lecture. So, students have to self-study a lot. Not everything is bad about the course. The price is great. University is well-reputed. The curriculum is good as well. They asked for around 18.5/19 hrs per week. It is good that they are not just giving good grades to everyone. You have to submit quality assignments to get marks. The students taking part in the program are really great.

The only downside is the explanation of the topics covered in not that good. You have to put a lot of time on self-study to understand the content.

I do not think that everything is bad either. But I know what I need.

After consultation with the University of Glasgow, this study has unfortunately been dropped, because it is very intense statistics and mathematics, which I would like, but I would have to be three years younger.

My decision now lies between UoL - Data Science & FT and Du Montfort University - Data Analytics.

With Data Analytics, the only question is whether Python is taught. I am waiting for an answer. The program is ranked 4th (Subject Ranking). I do not like that York indicates that the study is completed online / distannce learning. As if their program is not worth a lot.

I tried dmu’s intelligent systems MSc but quit because the software they told us to use was made redundant and the module teach didn’t care...

May I ask what year you startet it?

So I'm approaching the end of the first week of the course and am highly considering leaving the program. It seems to me that the method of teaching is dictating from a textbook and setting tasks from said textbook. This is fair enough, but I feel like there are far more effective, efficient and cheaper ways of learning than this.

Has anyone had any experience with or heard anything about the Glasgow Data Analytics MSc? I've just spoken to one of the course leaders and it sounds brilliant. As someone mentioned previously it's a lot more heavy on the statistics side of things which I'd say is a good thing, it just seems a lot more thorough. There's also the option to complete it in 2 years.
